I wonder where you are getting this idea that theymos expects merit sources to venture outside of their historical stomping grounds because I understood that theymos did not give too many guidelines for merit sources, and therefore there remains quite a decent amount of individual discretion for merit sources and other persons with smerits too.... 

(This PM is being sent to several people.)

Hello. You are now a merit source.

I will be periodically looking through the merit history of sources. If you send a lot of merit to good posts, then I will probably increase your source amount, while if you don't use your source much or use it irresponsibly, it may be reduced or removed. (But don't worry about it too much...)

I picked this batch of sources mainly by looking for ~Legendaries who were not wearing a paid signature. If you actually don't want to be a merit source, let me know.

Several of you post mainly in the Wall Observer thread. I'd encourage you to branch out a bit, such as into the Serious Discussion sections.

Note that there is a bug where whenever you spend your personal stash of sMerit, this also counts against your source for the next 30 days. So if you spent more sMerit in the last 30 days than the source merit I just assigned you, you will already see 0 source merit currently, though it will eventually recover. I will probably fix this at some point, but not soon.

Thanks!
